Kids Planet is excited to announce the acquisition of Tiptoes, a group of seven nurseries across East Riding of Yorkshire and Hull.

“Tiptoes is a fantastic group of purpose built settings, expanding our presence in East Riding of Yorkshire and Hull. We are delighted to welcome these seven nurseries and their wonderful teams into the Kids Planet family. We look forward to supporting all of the teams, children and families moving forwards.”

Helen and Paul Gilson, former owners of Tiptoes, said:

“Working with Kids Planet was a fitting end to 15 wonderful years of building and running Tiptoes. From our very first interaction with Kids Planet, their professionalism and extensive experience in the field was evident. They made the entire process feel incredibly seamless and every step of the transition has been handled with care. It has left us feeling confident that our beloved nurseries are in the best possible hands. We know our business will continue to value the well-being of children and education. We can’t thank Kids Planet enough and we are excited about the future of our nurseries with them at the helm.”
